What to Do When You Need Roadside Assistance

Each year, millions of people run into issues with their cars while driving. If your car has ever broken down on the side of the road, you know how it feels. Knowing what to do to keep yourself and your passengers safe, as well as who to call for help, restores your peace of mind.

In these situations, it's vital to take a minute to compose yourself before taking action. At AAA, we know these experiences can bring about a lot of emotions, but we stress the importance of acting fast and rationally. Give us a call. We promise to answer and send someone to you as soon as possible. 

When you need AAA roadside assistance, follow these six steps:

  1. Pull Off the Road: The moment you suspect something may be wrong with your vehicle, it's important to pull off the main road or highway. On most roads, it's best to pull to the right shoulder. But on some highways, there may be more room on the left. If you cannot make it off the road, turn on your hazard lights. If your car breaks down in the middle of the road, exit your car and make your way to safety. Don't try to push your automobile yourself — this will only increase your risk of getting hurt.
  2. Know Your Vehicle's Location: It's important to get into the habit of monitoring your location as you drive. To ensure you fully benefit from our emergency roadside assistance, we need to be able to find you! Note any nearby buildings, road signs, exit numbers or mile markers. If you use our app, we can find you even if you are unsure of your location.
  3. Try to Figure Out the Problem: No matter what happens, assessing your vehicle's problem starts with staying calm. What can you see? Is there smoke coming from your hood or need a tire change? Did your engine shut off, or did you run out of gas? Maybe you locked your keys in the car. Our roadside assistance experts will be there for you.
  4. Alert Others Drivers: To ensure other drivers can see your vehicle, turn on your emergency hazards or tie a brightly colored cloth to your antenna or door handle.
  5. Call AAA: Using your phone, a pay phone or a borrowed cell phone, give us a call and explain your situation. We take requests 24 hours a day over the phone and through our mobile app. We'll need to know where you are and what you need (rescue, gas, battery start, keys locked in the car, tire change and so on). Remember to program our AAA number into your cell phone (800-222-4357). We also recommend writing our number down and keeping it in your glove box in case you find yourself without your smartphone, wallet or purse.
  6. Stay With Your Vehicle: Now, all you have to do is sit back and relax. Make sure to lock your doors and close your windows for extra safety.

Comparing Roadside Assistance

You have several options for roadside assistance, including AAA and regular insurance policies. You can choose to add roadside assistance to many car insurance policies, but it often means an additional cost. 

Also, many roadside services do not provide the same level of care as AAA. To help you determine the best choice for your needs, explore the difference between AAA emergency road service versus car insurance roadside assistance by reading our in-depth blog post about the pros of choosing us.

Q. How Much Is AAA Roadside Assistance?

The cost depends on the membership level you select. AAA Classic, our basic plan, is $61 per year. The mid-range AAA Plus plan is $92 per year, and the AAA Premier plan costs $128 per year. Each has a one-time enrollment fee of $15. 

Q. What Does AAA Roadside Assistance Cover?

All plans include varying levels of coverage for services such as towing, emergency gasoline delivery, flat tire repairs, vehicle extrication and automobile accident coverage. AAA Premier, our most extensive plan, includes valuable extras such as home lockout and vehicle return benefits and concierge service.

Q. Can I Use Roadside Assistance for Someone Else?

Your AAA membership travels with you, not your vehicle. So, if you're riding with a friend or family member who needs to use the services, you can use your membership for that event.

Q. How Many Roadside Assistance Calls Do I Receive Each Year?

Members are entitled to four service calls per year at no charge, and there is no waiting period between calls. A service charge will apply for subsequent calls.
